Manufacture  the  Best  Staved  Up  Column  on  the  Market 

HESE  “Built  up’’  Columns  are  staved  up  out  of  2  inch,  2}4  inch 
or  3  inch  Lumber  and  with  14  to  30  staves  to  the  column,  accord¬ 
ing  to  the  size  and  style,  and  we  carry  on  hand  a  stock  of  dry 
thick  poplar  plank  for  making  these  Staved  Columns.  The 
lumber  is  thoroughly  kiln-dried  and  the  staves  are  joined  together 
by  tongue  and  groove  glued  joints  running  the  entire  length  of  the  stave, 
which  makes  a  perfect  joint  and  one  that  will  stand.  Our  staved  columns 
wall  not  open  in  the  joints. 

All  columns  from  S  inches  to  12  inches  in  diameter  are  made  from  2 
inch  lumber,  14  staves  to  each  .shaft,  which  admits  of  the  stock  finishing 
full  thickness  and  gives  a  good,  strong,  substantial  column  and  enables  us 
to  make  the  turn-outs,  fillets  and  neck  mould  on  the  shaft. 

We  can  furnish  White  Pine  Columns  in  .sizes  from  7  inch  to  12  inch 
shaft,  but  they  cost  more  than  the  Poplar  Columns  as  the  lumber  is  much 
more  expensive. 

We  make  a  .specialty  of  large  columns  18  inches  to  36  inches  in 
diameter,  18  to  26  feet  long,  and  carry  on  hand  3  inch  clear  poplar  18,  20, 
22  and  24  feet  long  for  making  staves  for  large  columns. 

We  manufacture  hand  carved  Wood  Capitals  of  any  size  or  style  and 
ahso  carry  a  full  line  of  Composition  Capitals. 

We  furnish  Columns  and  Capitals  for  interior  work  as  well  as  exterior.

A  Few  Things  Worth  Considering 


There  is  hardly  a  house  built  uowa-days  but  has  its  veranda  and 
the  veranda  has  become  a  very  important  part  of  the  house.  The 
material  used  in  the  veranda  should  be  just  as  good  as  is  used  in 
building  the  house,  as  they  are  put  up  to  stay  and  should  last 
many  years.  Poplar  or  Whitewood  is  one  of  the  best  woods  for  this  pur¬ 
pose  as  it  works  smoothly,  takes  paint  well  and  stands  exposure  to  the 
weather. 

We  u.se  the  best  poplar  and  turn  out  our  goods  in  the  best  possible 
manner  and  have  had  many  years  experience  in  the  manufacture  of  veranda 
w'ork  and  furnish  goods  that  are  first-class  in  every  respect. 

There  are  many  cheap  priced  columns  put  on  the  market  made  out  of 
cheap  woods  and  in  a  cheap  manner,  and  it  is  well  to  consider  the  quality 
of  the  goods  before  you  buju  Tlie  goods  that  are  cheapest  in  price  are  not 
usually  the  cheapest  in  the  end. 


Facts  in  Regard  to  Built  Up  Columns 

HERE  is  nothing  better  than  the  built  up  or  staved  column  when 
it  is  properly  made  and  properly  taken  care  of,  but  as  a  column 
is  exposed  to  all  kinds  of  weather  and  constant  changes  in  the 
atmosphere,  they  must  be  w^ell  manufactured  in  the  first  place 
and  then  must  be  kept  painted. 

We  have  had  many  years  experience  in  the  manufacture  of  stav-ed 
columns  and  think  we  are  making  them  just  as  good  as  they  can  be  made, 
and  we  think  our  work  in  all  parts  of  the  country  will  bear  us  testimony. 

You  cannot  expect  the  cheap  priced  staved  columns  that  are  made  out 
df  thin  lumber,  (in  many  cases  not  thoroughly  dry),  and  in  a  cheap  manner, 
to  stand  very  long  exposure  to  the  weather.  All  of  our  staved  columns  are 
primed  one  coat  before  leaving  our  factory  to  protect  them. 

Staved  Columns  should  not  be  expo.sed  to  bad  weather  before  they  are 
put  in  place,  for  if  the  inside  of  the  column  is  exposed  to  moisture  it  is 
likely  to  cause  the  joints  to  open.
